OXYGEN-CARBON CYCLE The carbon-oxygen cycles are actually two independent cycles. However‚ both these cycles are interconnected as well as interdependent on each other to some extent. There are four processes involved in the completion of the carbon-oxygen cycle. Oxygen-carbon cycle processes are: * Photosynthesis Plants undergo photosynthesis that helps them produce energy and food for themselves. During photosynthesis‚ plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and absorb water (H2O) with the help

Activated Carbon Activated Carbon is the best general use adsorbent to remove/reduce a lot of organic and some inorganic contaminants found in different liquid and gas products. Activated carbon has the unique ability to adsorb a wide range of compounds from both the liquid and gas phase. This adsorptive feature is responsible for removing contaminants from water and other substances where the adsorbent material is added. Activated Carbon features a highly crystalline form with a wide surface

Respiration  Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules‚ like glucose‚ to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6 CO2 The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis‚ the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water In eukaryotes‚ glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. (Link to a discussion of glycolysis)

CARBON TAX ON TOURISM CARBON TAX The tax levied on the carbon content of fuels is known as the carbon tax. Carbon tax is a type of carbon pricing. Fuels like coal‚ petroleum and natural gas release carbon dioxide (CO2) when they are burnt. This tax has been introduced to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. These taxes can be regressive tax‚ in which they may affect low income groups directly or indirectly. This regressive impact on carbon taxes can be addressed by using the tax revenues to
